Abstract
A method for forwarding a call in a telecommunications network, where subscriber A's call is transferred using the call forwarding service from subscriber B's first terminal equipment to his/her second terminal equipment, the said second terminal equipment giving an indication of an incoming call. To provide a more user-friendly and less costly service for the user, the system monitors, when forwarding the call, whether the user performs a pre-defined action while the mobile telephone is ringing, and if such an action is detected, the call is re-routed back to the first terminal equipment. The method is particularly suitable for users who have both a fixed-wire telephone line and a mobile telephone.
